Canterlot University. It was more renowned than the Cloudsdale Flight academy and Celestia's school for Gifted Unicorns. It had classes from High school up to College and had educations for every race. Even Griffons and Dragons attended.

“But Tia!”

“Oh come on Lu...it's not that bad.”

“But I Don't want to be alone...I'll be the only Alicorn in attendance...”

“Oh Don't worry, you will have a roommate. And I will be there, I'm the Dean as well as the advanced magics Professor so I'll always be there for you.”

“...Fine...why do you want me to go to this stupid school anyways Tia?”

“Luna, technically you are barely sixteen, and what better way to get back into the groove of things than to go to the finest school in Equestria?”

“...you have a point...fine, but I refuse to start freshman year...I know everything they have to teach...”

“Deal.”

two Alicorns conversed in a closed room. Celestia was enrolling her Sister, Luna, into the Equestria University. Many years ago, Luna suppressed Nightmare Moon instead of caving in, but the tremendous force caused the Alicorn to enter a sort of coma. She was finally awake now, and after a few weeks Celestia devised this plan.

“Wow...it's...huge.” Luna commented as the two sisters walked along the path leading to the university.

“It is. Now, I don't want to ruin this for you so you get to have the full experience. And by the way, remember that you are in fact sixteen...(little side note, think of the ages as in something similar to dog years. She is sixteen but in our years she'd be about 25)” Celestia said.

“Yes...and I'm at about the magical level of one...” Luna said lowly.

“Oh your magic just faded a bit while you were in the coma...it'll come back. Now back to what I was saying, the full experience. Which for you starts at finding your dorm and getting your schedule on your own. Bye!” the Regal Alicorn said happily and was suddenly gone. Luna huffed but took the bags that had been dropped in her magic and continued walking.

“Good luck, I can't believe you've made it into the University already...you just became a Mare yet you're starting at Sophomore year...it took me until I was four years older than you to even get in!” Shining Armor said to Twilight. (another note, High school=College and College= advanced college).

“Yeah yeah...just give me my bags and I can be rid of you!” Twilight retorted jokingly. Shining Armor grinned and allowed his sister's magic to overtake his own.

“Take care sis, write to me whenever you want.” he said.

“'Course. See you later.” Twilight replied and began walking.

“Twi watch-!...out...” Shining yelled out a little too late, Twilight had impacted something. Or rather, somepony.

“Oh I must apologize, I was distracted.”

“I'm so sorry! My bags were blocking my veiw!” Twilight and the other pony blurted out. They helped each other pick up each other's bags, but Twilight froze when she saw who she had bumped into.

“P-Princess Luna?!” Twilight exclaimed.

“Please...just Luna. I am surprised you know me.” Luna replied.

“W-Well Princess Celestia told me about you last time I saw her. It's an honor to finally meet you!” Twilight exclaimed happily, holding a hoof out to shake. Luna smiled and shook the hoof.

“You surprise me, my sister doesn't normally talk with her subjects about such personal matters. I am also surprised you did not go straight to bowing or some other form of royal recognition..it has been too long since anypony has shook my hoof.” Luna said with a smile.

“Oh I'm sorry, did you want me to bow?” Twilight asked.

“Oh heavens no. I despise all of that royal crap...I just want to be that slightly different pony in the school...” Luna said.

“Oh Ok...well, Luna...um...care to walk with me?” Twilight asked.

“Sure.” Luna replied. Twilight gave a final wave to Shining Armor, whose jaw was on the ground, and fell into step with Luna.

“Who was that?” Luna asked.

“My brother, Shining Armor.” Twilight replied.

“That name seems familiar...oh well, may have been similar in appearance or name to an old friend.” Luna said.

“So, Luna, what grade are you starting in?” Twilight asked.

“Oh, a Sophomore I believe it is called.” Luna replied.

“Me too, we might get a few classes together.” Twilight said with a smile.

“You're a Sophomore?...you look too young to even be a Freshman.” Luna commented.

“Um...yeah...I was the top student at the school for Gifted Unicorns and I kinda skipped a few years...I'm still a Mare, it's just my birthday was a few days ago...I was also Celestia's protege for ten years.” Twilight explained.

“Oh well that explains a lot. I think this is my dorm...” Luna said when they came in front of a large building with a moon on the front of it.

“Me too, what room number are you?” Twilight asked as they entered.

“Um...21B” Luna replied. Twilight grinned and showed a key with an identical room tag.

“We're roommates!” Twilight said happily.

“It would appear so.” Luna replied, mirroring the grin. They found their room and found it...very bare.

“Oh this just won't do.” Luna said as she winked at Twilight. “Which do you want, top or bottom? It doesn't matter to me.” she continued as she opened a few of her bags.

“Um, I'll take the bottom I guess.” Twilight replied.

“Alright, perfect.” Luna said and suddenly the room was spinning. Literally. When it stopped, the walls were a mixture of dark blue and Lavender purple, the beds looked much more comfortable than the cots they were and one of the two desks had a few items placed on it. The most pronounced, though, was a Laptop.

“You have one too?” Twilight said as she put hers on the other desk.

“Of course.” Luna replied. “You like?” she continued, spinning around.

“It's amazing! How did you do all that?” Twilight asked.

“Well I had a few things in those bags. Most of them compressed with magic to fit, I knew the room would be dull and I knew I'd have a roommate so I prepared for anything.” Luna said. They spent the next hour unpacking and getting everything straightened out. They had decided against the classic 'this is my half and that is yours' and just went with 'what's yours is mine'.

“So...Schedules?” Twilight suggested.

“We probably should.” Luna replied.

They walked down the hall, Luna ignoring the 'pleasantries' everypony was giving and Twilight just kind of shadowed her. They reached the large common room where there was some Professors giving out schedules.

“If there is anything wrong with your schedule or you wish to make last minute changes, you will need to amend these within th next three days, then your schedule will become permanent unless special circumstances are met.” the Professor in charge called with a voice enhancing spell.

“What do you have?” Twilight asked Luna.

“Well, from the looks of it there are five classes a day and they cycle on certain days...for Monday through Wednesday I start with Musical Education, Then move on to Economics...then break for lunch, then on to Equestrian History, then to Technology and finally advanced Magics. On Thursday through Saturday it is the same, but Economics is switched for OM...what is OM?” Luna said.

“Um...the professor said it was Offensive Magic. That's weird, even though those are some higher level classes I have the exact same thing...I thought I was going to regret my decision to switch to Musical Education, but I guess it was for the better! What do you play?” Twilight asked.

“I play the Viola.” Luna replied. “You?” she asked.

“Violin.” Twilight replied.

“Interesting. It would appear as if we get this day off of classes to settle in...Lunch?” Luna offered.

“Sure, I'm starving.” Twilight replied.
